 |
|
Do you guys know about MLM (multi-level marketing) or so-called Network Marketing? What comment can you all give if u get involved/got offer into this so called "business opportunity"? How many of you got this experience?
By the way, i got offer from these people to be their business partner.
Company name: DCHL (its website)
Products: Lampe Berge, Estebel, ED.Pinaud
Im not going to tell details on how they actually expand their business or getting business partners, you can surf online there are so many kinda interesting supporting and even anti Lampe Berge or the company-DCHL articles/blogs. Basically i personally feel confused by so many different comment on this. I just wanted you guys to give comment on what u all know.

Okay from what I read about MLM, it's basically like franchising, except individuals carry out the job. The idea of it is really innovative & smart, but in reality, there are alot of issues like legitimacy & so on.
| Quote: | The idea behind multi-level marketing (MLM) is simple. Imagine you have a product to sell. A common MLM product is some sort of panacea, such as a vitamin or mineral supplement. You could do what most businesses do: either sell it directly to consumers or find others who will buy your product from you and sell it to other people. MLM schemes require that you recruit people not only to buy and sell your product, but who will also recruit people who will not only buy and sell your product but also recruit people....ad infinitum. Only there never is an infinitum to move towards. This may seem unusual to traditional business people. Why, you might wonder would you recruit people to compete with you? For, isn't that what you are doing when you recruit people to sell the same products you are selling? MLM magic will convince you that it is reasonable to recruit competitors because they won't really be competitors since you will get a cut of their profits. This will take your mind off the fact that no matter how big your town or market, it is finite. The well will go dry soon enough. There will always be some distributors who will make money in an MLM scheme. The majority, however, must fail due to the intrinsic nature of all pyramid schemes.
Multi-level marketing is system of marketing which puts more emphasis upon the recruiting of distributors than on the selling of products. As such, it is intrinsically flawed. MLM is very attractive, however, because it sells hope and appears to be outside the mainstream of business as usual. It promises wealth and independence to all. Unfortunately, no matter what the product, MLM is doomed to produce more failures than successes. For every MLM distributor who makes a decent living or even a decent supplemental income, there are at least ten who do little more than buy products and promotional materials, costing them much more than they will ever earn as an MLM agent. The most successful MLM scheme is Amway. It has millions of distributors worldwide with sales in the billions. At the turn of the century, the average Amway distributor earned about $700 a year in sales, but spent about $1,000 a year on Amway products. Distributors also have other expenses related to the business, e.g., telephone, gas, motivational meetings, and publicity material (Amway.com; Klebniov 1991).
The reason MLM schemes cannot succeed is because MLM marketing is, in essence, a legal pyramid scheme. The basic idea is for a sales person to recruit more sales persons. This is very advantageous to those who own the company and supply the products, especially since the sales persons in MLMs are also customers. But it is puzzling why a sales person would think it is to his or her advantage to increase the number of competing sales persons.
This is not to say there is no benefit to MLM membership. You get certain tax write-offs. You get to buy products, some of which you will be happy with. You get to go to inspirational meetings, some of which will make you feel good. You may meet new friends and you may even make a few bucks. But more than likely you will end up alienating some family and friends. You will probably end up buying more stuff than you sell. And you will learn a lot about deceiving yourself and others. You won't be allowed to tell anyone how you are really doing, for example. You will always have to think positive, even if that means lying. You will have to tell anyone who asks that you are doing great, that business is wonderful, that you've never seen anything go so fast and bring you income so quickly, even if it isn't true.
The dangers of MLM schemes have been well articulated by others. |
I'm not sure if this company is a legit MLM firm, I wouldn't take it personally

its like a networking business. basically in surface people might say its very fast and easy to earn a lot of money...but how far it's true thats very hard to define...the most concerned part is the legacy of it, basically its depend on the company. and wat i wana know is about this company, how far its gonna work in this market and not against the law.

Basically the company claimed itself selling Paris products.
Lampe Berge is an air product basically. It is claimed to use aromatherapy as a function to make the air healthier for people, which i also not sure how true is that... 
Estebel is skin/hair care product
ED.Pinaud is basically make-up product
The MLM which this company use make members to find business partners which helping them to expand the network and members will get income by that, and its a lot!

Hm I'm not sure if this company is legit, I would think so from its site, but I'm not sure  I don't even know how to check it. You could ask the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia, contact them & ask information, they would have the necessary info about the company. Clicky

Yes, lampe berger has already 100 years in operation..
well, the product based on aromaterapics and my uncle is one of the distributor.
The product is quite nice from my opinion.. there is one type of aroma which can cure (or at least reduce athma). When i'm inhale the aroma, i'm sneeze most of the time.. hehe..
i'm also has a little bit of 'resdung'.... |
